Abstract (280 Views)
Aims: Due to the lack of proper infrastructure and the reduced performance of worn-out urban structures, these structures have become one of the most important urban challenges. The aim of this study was to investigate the factors contributing to wear and tear in the urban neighborhoods of Haft Chenar and Beryanak in District 10 of Tehran.
Methodology: This research was conducted in three consecutive stages in 2025 in the Haft Chenar and Beryanak neighborhoods of Tehran, using a mixed-methods approach. A final list of 100 factors affecting burnout was extracted through semi-structured interviews with 16 experts in six dimensions. To analyze structural relationships, an interaction matrix questionnaire was designed, and its data were analyzed using MicMac software; the factors were classified into 4 categories: influential, affected, bimodal, and independent. To assess the current situation, a field survey was conducted by distributing 400 questionnaires to residents, and the quantitative data were analyzed using SmartPLS software.
Findings: The impact of the economic dimension on the managerial dimension (coefficient=0.57) was the strongest positive relationship in the model. In contrast, the weakest relationship concerned the impact of the economic dimension on the environmental dimension (coefficient=0.128). The managerial dimension played a key, multifaceted role, not only being strongly influenced by the economy but also influencing the psychological (coefficient=0.532) and environmental (coefficient=0.564) dimensions. On the other hand, the social dimension also had a direct impact on the physical dimension (coefficient=0.268).
Conclusion: The economic dimension is the strongest external influence (especially on management), the managerial dimension is the strongest internal influence (with a strong impact on the psyche and the environment), and the physical dimension of the context is the primary influencing factor on the deterioration of the urban fabric. The psychological dimension is the final influencing factor; its improvement depends on addressing the objective roots in other dimensions.
